Napoleon Dynamite
Although Napoleon Dynamite is one of my all time favorite movies I never went to see it when it came out in theaters in 2004 because I thought it was going to be another stupid movie. It wasn’t until a couple of years later after the “heck yes” and “luckyyy!” quotes and the Vote for Pedro t-shirts that I was strolling through Blockbuster when I came upon it again. My little sister who is now 15 years old had been bugging me to go see the movie since the beginning. I was in the mood for a comedy and when I saw that I couldn’t find anything good that I hadn’t seen yet, I grudgingly rented Napoleon Dynamite. Expecting something lame, it was awesome when I saw that it was so not like that! It was funny, smart, quirky, and one of those movies you can watch over and over again and still be amused after the 100th time. Overall, it was a fun movie and I also appreciated the fact that there was no cursing, sex or violence. That is a rarity! I don’t know how the co-writers and director Jared Hess and Jerusha Hess pulled that off and still managed to make an exceedingly successful film, but they did. Jon Heder, the actor who played Napoleon Dynamite did a fantastic job with that role and Pedro, Uncle Rico, Kip and Deb were also hilarious. They managed to make a very low-budget film into a true gem. That is also a rarity in Hollywood.
